Charlie chose to keep quiet about the villa he was about to receive, mainly due to Elaine\u2019s current demeanor.<\/p>\n

While Charlie was busy in the kitchen, Claire approached him and whispered, \u201cCharlie, don\u2019t take my mother\u2019s comments to heart. She\u2019s just too vain and idealistic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feigning innocence, Charlie replied, \u201cWhat did your mother say? I didn\u2019t catch anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, come on! It would be quite odd if you genuinely didn\u2019t hear anything,\u201d Claire said, playfully poking Charlie\u2019s forehead with her finger.<\/p>\n

Seizing the moment, Charlie held Claire\u2019s hand, which made her blush instantly. She glanced around the kitchen nervously before pulling her hand back.<\/p>\n

Yet, Charlie was not ready to let go. He drew her hand closer, admiring the bracelet he had made for her. \u201cIs the bracelet working for you?\u201d he asked with a smile.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes!\u201d Claire nodded enthusiastically. \u201cI really think it\u2019s effective. Ever since I started wearing it, I feel lighter and more relaxed. What\u2019s in this bracelet? Why is it so good?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just made of pearls,\u201d Charlie replied, amused.<\/p>\n

The Holy Pearl of the Ocean on Claire\u2019s wrist made it appear fair and delicate, like freshly fallen snow.<\/p>\n

As Charlie held her smooth, warm hand, he didn\u2019t want to let go. But when Claire caught on to his thoughts, she blushed again, shooting him a glare as she quickly withdrew her hand.<\/p>\n

Charlie chuckled and asked, \u201cAre you interested in moving to a new house?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely! Who wouldn\u2019t want to live in a bigger, nicer place? Since my mother left the villa, she\u2019s been complaining that this house feels too small and shabby\u2026\u201d Claire sighed. \u201cBut the new houses are just too pricey. We should probably forget about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then, an idea struck Claire, and she exclaimed, \u201cWait! We could look at some new properties first. If we find that the price difference isn\u2019t too much, we could buy a new house!\u201d<\/p>\n

Before Charlie could respond, Claire added excitedly, \u201cAlright, it\u2019s settled! Since tomorrow is the weekend, let\u2019s go check out some new houses!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie nodded, noticing her enthusiasm. \u201cSure! If you want to explore some new houses, I\u2019ll be right there with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire then pulled out her cell phone to research real estate options, finally settling on a district known for its beautiful environment.<\/p>\n

After dinner, there was a knock at the front door. A courier delivered a small parcel to Charlie, saying, \u201cThis is an express delivery for you. Please sign here.\u201d<\/p>\n

After signing for it, Charlie opened the box to find a suite key along with several golden key cards labeled \u2018Thompson First Villa A05.\u2019<\/p>\n

Shortly after, Charlie received a call from Zeke, the head of the White family. Zeke greeted him respectfully, saying, \u201cHello, Mr. Wade. Have you received the key and room cards for the villa? Thompson First, developed by the Thompson First Development Company in Aurous Hill, is one of the most upscale projects in the city. Villa A05, which I gifted you, is the largest villa at one thousand square meters, not including the courtyard! I hope you and your family enjoy this gift.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie was aware of the Thompson First Development Company and knew they were involved in many high-end projects in Aurous Hill. Indeed, Thompson First was among the most luxurious developments in the area.<\/p>\n

One of these villas was priced at no less than one hundred million dollars.<\/p>\n

Zeke\u2019s generosity was evident, prompting Charlie to respond casually, \u201cThank you for your kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, no! It\u2019s an honor to help you, Mr. Wade!\u201d Zeke replied, clearly delighted.<\/p>\n

Once back in the bedroom, Charlie turned to Claire and asked, \u201cMy dear wife, what do you think of the villas at Thompson First?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThompson First?!\u201d Claire exclaimed, astonished. \u201cHow could we ever afford a villa there? Even a regular house from Thompson First Development Company costs twice as much as others! But I must admit, their properties are top-notch in Aurous Hill!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie smiled and said, \u201cLet\u2019s check out the villas tomorrow to see if we\u2019re interested in buying one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claire quickly waved her hands, \u201cLet\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves. We should focus on more practical options and look at regular houses instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie chuckled and said, \u201cI didn\u2019t mention this before, but I have a friend at Thompson First Development Company. He told me he could get me a villa at cost price, so why not take a look first?\u201d<\/p>\n
